Ok, I got it now.

You didn't actually develop that thought (music revolution) well in your post. You stated the question but not what happened after that. What was Paul's answer about the music revolution thing? Its definitely not a music revolution..thats laughable, but to say there is no energy in it (like many of his solo works) is not accurate. I was very surprised to find he actually did several thumpers on it...something he has not done in a good long while and I believe that is his best style. There are a couple of throw aways on there though, but I have not heard many artists release anything that every cut on the CD is top notch.

Paul just smiled and didn’t respond to the “Revolution in Music” comment. Indeed there are some thumpers, but kinda boorish in my opinion. Compare the beat and complexity of the music in “Crazy Love Songs” to this album and you will see what I mean. I grew up in the 60s and 70s, hearing numerous albums where every cut was top notch. Maybe I am just a grumpy old man who is hung up on the past. :-) I saw a Clapton / Cream concert on TV the other day and played “White Room” and “Badge” - simply unbelievable. After that was a song by Green Day. Although I like some of Green Day, when put up against Cream they really seemed dull!
